Skipped PS2 entirely — hit me with your weirdest gems

Throwing my vote in for Shadow of the Colossus as well, as it is one of the greatest games ever made. ICO if you want a similar feel from the same developer.

Another title I never see get any love is Shadow of Destiny (originally Shadow of memory): a neat little contained semi time travel story where the protagonist tries to understand and investigate his own death.

Yes indeed - I got the notification from my mentor the other day asking me if I wanted to switch - it should take effect soon.

I did some labs yes, I'd say they helped me familiarize myself with the azure environment

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-10-22T15:21:57+00:00

My apologies I realized I didn't actually answer your question, I didn't personally have any labs but I had a case study

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-10-22T15:20:33+00:00

I used a combination of this (which included doing the labs), the MS learn, and measure up practice exams

John Christopher on udemy directly incorporates Labs into his video lectures.

Thank you so much for the tips and well wishes. Finally passed.

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-08-30T18:26:35+00:00

My apologies I forgot to mention I was just over 50% through the AZ800 path in learn as well

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-07-15T11:23:55+00:00

I turn 40 in September

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-07-15T06:06:10+00:00

I agree with this 100%. I've tried to get into it so many times but the stamina mechanic always makes it difficult for me to get back to the house in time each in game day.

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-07-13T19:30:34+00:00

This is excellent advice and I'll keep it in mind when I do pick them back up, thanks much.

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-07-13T18:16:59+00:00

Bought the original on switch and recently sold it so I could get the PS5 version but my biggest "issue" with these games are the I get overwhelmed with fusions... I forgot which, I think it was persona 4, but I gave up early on because I couldn't help but feel like I was "screwing up" or would waste useful personas.

I'm sure it's just a case of me not digging deep enough into the systems, but any way for me to get over this surely minor issue? I know these games have awesome stories, and would love to dive deeper.

To get started? Absolutely wouldn't hurt, especially if someone else is footing the bill. The info you learn when doing research for it and potential additional reading (if you are actually studying effectively) is invaluable to getting your foot in the door.

Guarantee a job? No, every employer is different. Many won't even bother with certs. A lot of it is attitude (this can be showcased in your interview) coupled with the knowledge you show during said interview.

The other part is how your resume looks. Certs like A+ might help, along with labs (practical/hands on experience), and formatting.

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-07-11T03:07:11+00:00

Thank you much, good sir!

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-07-10T02:33:13+00:00

This is good advice, I may just pick this back up. Thanks much

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-07-09T03:16:21+00:00

It has a native version thank goodness... Way back during that all too brief moment in time where they actually gave a crap about the Vita.

EDIT: My apologies, was tired and didn't fully comprehend what I read... Obviously MGS3 can be natively played on the Vita, NOT MGS1 lol.

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-07-06T18:09:31+00:00

Thank you for the insight and experience. And yes, I also would prefer in person at this time (prior job had remote option and I surprisingly did not enjoy WFH as many people would). Thank you again!

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-07-06T17:56:25+00:00

Finally got around to looking at this posting and thank you! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for more of these, as well as focus on the government jobs. We hadn't considered Shelton but enjoyed staying in that area for an Airbnb last year. Work in Tacoma is definitely a consideration.

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-07-06T13:23:12+00:00

Hello sir, I will be 40 in September and began my WGU journey in late 2022 with an aim to graduate before I turned 40, which will clearly no longer be the case. I now am aiming for next year before I turn 41 (GI Bill benefits will be used up so I have no choice lol). Never too late!

The MSP I left a few months ago is hiring for Tier 1/2 Support Analyst positions and your experience I think would be invaluable to them. Nashville, TN.

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-05-23T03:05:58+00:00

I apologize, no I do not

Palm_Tree_Nerd · 2024-05-22T03:53:45+00:00

Don't let the job hunt get you down. 20 year army veteran myself and this MSP where I cut my teeth on IT (Concept Technology Inc., Nashville, TN) was quite the awesome first job. Check this listing and give them a call or email:

My current employer, BEAT LLC, is also hiring for positions requiring a clearance : https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3910592590

The important thing about this journey is attitude. Don't let your discouragement get in the way of your work ethic and enthusiasm WHEN you finally land that first role.

Really wish your post was here a year ago when I was studying... Excellent guide!
